The Franco-Prussian peace negotiations ended in failure, but Prussia did not stop its advance towards Paris, and Paris was also recruiting new soldiers to prepare for battle.
The temporary Government Office in Paris, in order to consolidate its ruling position, had to make the public hate Prussia and shift all internal conflicts externally.
The French Minister of Internal Affairs, Gambetta, even issued an anti-Prussian declaration: We must kill all Prussians!
Shoot from windows and cellars, and if we don't have guns, we will use pitchforks, sabers, and spears; in any case, only consider the problem of killing Prussians.
The upper echelons completely tied the public to this war train, and no one could remain unaffected. At this moment, the public's anger shifted from Imperialism to the Prussian Kingdom.
Previously, everyone was eager to escape conscription, but now the passionate youths were eager to go directly to the battlefield and fight the Prussians.
